AI Contract Overview
This contract involves funding under the Disability and Rehabilitation Research Projects (DRRP) Program to establish a Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (MSKTC). The primary goal is to enhance rehabilitation services authorized by the Rehabilitation Act by generating and disseminating knowledge, methods, and technologies to improve independent living and employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities, particularly those with significant support needs. The MSKTC is tasked with collaborating closely with the Burn, Spinal Cord Injury (SCI), and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model System grantees to produce and promote systematic reviews of research, develop effective dissemination strategies, serve as a centralized resource for knowledge sharing, and provide training and technical assistance on knowledge translation. The project will span five years, divided into five annual budget periods, under the Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Community Living. This partnership aims to ensure that the latest research findings and information products from the Model Systems programs reach a wide audience efficiently, thereby fostering evidence-based improvements in rehabilitation practices. The contract encourages ongoing cooperation among specialized grantees to maximize the impact of scientific insights on real-world outcomes for individuals with disabilities.

Full Description
The purpose of NIDILRR's Disability and Rehabilitation Research Project (DRRP) grants is to improve the effectiveness of services authorized under the Rehabilitation Act by generating knowledge or developing methods, procedures, and rehabilitation technologies that advance a wide range of independent living and employment outcomes for individuals with disabilities, especially those with the greatest support needs. Under this particular opportunity, a DRRP must conduct knowledge translation and related activities in collaboration with the Burn Model System, Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Model System, and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Model System grantees. Specifically, the MSKTC will be required to collaborate with the model system centers to produce and promote systematic reviews of existing research and information products for SCI, TBI, and Burn; identify and implement effective strategies for disseminating SCI, TBI, and Burn Model System programs’ research findings; serve as the central resource for the Model System programs' knowledge and product dissemination; and provide training and technical assistance in knowledge translation for the Model System grantees. This grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
